I didn't get to adding color last night, so I'll submit this as my final draft. I will try to remember to add the colored version when I finish it. I'm pretty pleased with this version of the dragon/Phoenix pairing, but Adam made a good point in that I don't want our tattoo to appear as if Kelly and my totems are fighting. In the original version, there is an orb in the center. I don't know what it represents, but perhaps an addition of something in the center of the piece would make it appear that both beasts are striving towards it instead of each other. Thoughts on this?
Adam, your weapon is night.
The center piece could be the earth, or the sun. I feel like both animals are linked to the sun in mythology, but perhaps I'm mistaken. In any event, you could alter it a bit so they appear to be dancing instead of dueling. Of course, there's nothing wrong with a friendly duel.
ReplyDeleteIn any event, the scales look rad.
Good ideas Jamie. I think I would like the sun better than the earth both because I feel that the image of the sun seems more symbol than satellite photo and because somehow it feels, as you said, more mythic.
